Outside the tent is burning a bonfire, the smell of meat fluttering, and faintly can hear the sound of the generals laughing and coaxing noises. And the tent, Mu Yungui in front of the marching bed set up a small case, on which placed a few simple and light dishes.
Two people quietly sat down to eat, not lively enough, but exceptionally warm.
The barracks food naturally not compared to Jiangdu, but Yu Yan worried about Mu Yungui's safety, from this morning did not eat much, at the moment hungry stomach straight sour, also can not care about picky food.
Mu Yungui gave him a small snack and asked: "So, master is worried that something bad happened to his subordinates, and that's why he rushed here?"
"......hmm." Yu Yan held a bowl of porridge, sipping it in small gulps.
Mu Yunguang whispered, "Thank you, master."
Yu Yan put the bowl down, a little unhappy: "Yun Gui, why are you still so polite to me now?"
Mu Yungui moved.
This person was used to treating Yu Yan with restraint and courtesy, and even after so long, he still couldn't change.
Yu Yan asked again, "What did I say to you the last time we met?"
Shepherd Cloud returned: "Master said ...... to be more active and frank with master, what is in your heart, you must tell master."
"Then tell me with me, what's on your mind?"
"I ...... "Shepherd Yun Gui hesitated for a moment and lowered his voice: "My subordinates miss their master."
"Every day without seeing the master is hard, worrying about whether the master is doing well in Jiangdu, whether the meals are agreeable or not, whether he will encounter danger. I want to end the war and return to Jiangdu as soon as possible, I want to see my master as soon as possible ......"
Mu Yungui's handsome eyes gazed at Yu Yan and said seriously, word by word: "So today, when I met my master, I was very happy, and when I learned that my master came for my subordinate, I was even happier."
Yu Yan looked at him for a moment, don't look away, and his ears quietly reddened: "Don't ...... say ......"
Mu Yungui had changed a lot over the past year, thinner than before, and appeared more mature between his brows.
If he was still intent on restraining his sharpness earlier, now, he is a sheathed sword, heroic and razor-sharp.
And coupled with such a serious eyes, call people simply ...... unable to hold.
Who says that wood can't speak words of love?
Yu Yan blush with shame, vaguely said "I also miss you", then lowered his head to focus on eating.
Mu Yungui saw his appearance, a bit itchy, but held back.
The two quietly finished their dinner.
Perhaps it was overly hungry, and the party ate too quickly, some nausea, Yu Yan did not eat much and put down the chopsticks.
Mu Yungui was keenly aware of his difference and worried: "Master but not feeling well, subordinate to seek military doctor."
"Don't-" Yu Yan pulled him, "No, I'm just ......"
Yu Yan pursed his lips and didn't finish his sentence.
He wasn't going to tell Mu Yunguo just yet.
The situation is still unclear, and saying it now would distract him, which is one of them. The second part is that ...... he wants to give him a surprise.
And this surprise must be said only after everything has settled down.
"I'm just too tired." Yu Yan pulled Shenyun Gui over and whispered, "Just lie down with me for a while."
Although Mu Yungui had his doubts, he always listened to Yu Yan's words. He nodded, helped Yu Yan take off his shoes and socks, and hugged the man to lie down.
"These past few days, I've been worried." Yu Yan said softly, "I guessed that the secret letter sent out should not reach you, and I don't dare to stop for a moment, I'm really scared ......"
It was just that he couldn't ride a horse, so he had to arrive by carriage, which took quite a bit of time again.
Yu Yan buried his head in Mu Yungui's embrace and gently rubbed against it.
Shepherd Yun Gui stroked his spine and said, "Master should trust me."
"Subordinates said they would never leave you, even if His Majesty really wants to order the execution of subordinates, even if they resist the order, subordinates will definitely live." Mu Yungui said, "Has the master forgotten?"
Yu Yan: "No."
But caring was too much for him to bet on.
Makuyun looked down at the young man in his arms, smoothing the other man's broken hair that hung to the side of his face behind his ear and lowering his head slightly.
He wanted to kiss him.
It was quiet inside the tent, so quiet that Yu Yan could only hear the rapid beating of his own heart.
His eyelash feathers trembled, and he waited quietly.
But a human voice suddenly came from outside the house: "Vice Admiral Mak, there are two people outside the tent asking for an audience, saying that they are your wife's relatives."
Yu Yan: "......"
What the hell?
The original ambiguous atmosphere disappeared in an instant, and before Yu Yan could get angry that good things had been interrupted, he was quickly surprised by what he heard and almost jumped.
Whose wife?
What relatives?
He stared incredulously at Mu Yungui.
The latter was so frightened that he sat up: "My ...... subordinates don't know anything!"
The two looked at each other, and Yu Yan suddenly thought of something.
Shepherd Yun returned, "Subordinate will send the people away."
"Wait." Yu Yan sat up nonchalantly and straightened his lapels, "Let them in, I know who it is."
Makuyun replied to his subordinate in a plausible manner, and a moment later, the tent was lifted.
Two young men entered, and one of them, a mellow and handsome looking youth, was holding a little cub that was not even a week old in his arms.
The little cub was lying quietly in the young man's arms, already asleep.
As soon as the visitors saw the atmosphere in the tent, they immediately smiled, "It seems that Jinwang and I came at a bad time."
These two, naturally, were the ruler and the prime minister of Changlu.
"...... "Yu Yan's ears reddened slightly, "What are you talking nonsense about, why did you guys come over and bring Little Yezi?"
Hearing him ask this, Ye Shu took a step to the side in a guilty manner.
Jinwang glanced at the person beside him and coldly said, "It's still not someone who has no sense of importance and secretly followed the lone person to the frontline, but it's also fine to bring the child with you."
"How can I be blamed!" Ye Shu protested, "Little Yezi can't leave anyone now, we can't just leave him in Kyoto."
Jinwang: "You shouldn't have come along."
Ye Shu: "...... hum."
Yuyan: "......."
Shepherd's Return: "......"
Yu Yan pressed his eyebrows, "Did you guys come to show me on purpose?"
Ye Shu spat his tongue at Jinwang, taking the opportunity to break free of his embrace and patter ran to Yu Yan's side.
"I'm here to see you and ......." Ye Shu said, his eyes darting straight to Mu Yungui, "I told you that you had something with this little guard, but you wouldn't admit it before."
"We were ...... originally nothing at that time." Yu Yan said more and more quietly.
Ye Shu looked skeptical and said, "Really? But I plainly feel-"
"Ashu." Jinwang interrupted with a grimace, "We have business to attend to."
Ye Shu met the other's gaze and closed his mouth in a wince, "Oh."
Jinwang took out a secret letter from his bosom and handed it to Yu Yan, "This is something we intercepted on the way."
Yu Yan took a look at it, but it was the King of Yan's secret imperial edict.
He opened the secret edict, which was an order to the commander of the three armies, requesting the commander to secretly execute Mu Yunguo.
Yu Yan's eyes darkened and he whispered, "Thank you."
He handed the secret edict to Mu Yungui to read, then turned around and threw the secret edict into the firepot, and tongues of fire raced up and burned the letter to the ground.
Ye Shu smiled, "You owe me again."
"Yeah." Yu Yan said, "And the five cities that were struck on the border during these months, thank you as well."
Jinwang said in a soft voice, "These cities were originally your Great Yan's territory, and now they are considered to be returned to you."
Ye Shu whispered poking through, "No need to thank him, most of the border garrison are prisoners of war captured from Western Xia, the dog emperor is using you guys to practice."
"...... "Jinwang asked, "What did you call me?"
Ye Shu seconds wince, "Husband!"
Jinwang seemed to have endured, but didn't, and a little smile appeared on his lips.
He tilted his head and coughed lightly, and then squared up, "Earlier, the second prince planned to seize military power first and then pressure the King of Yan to establish a reserve, but now that the King of Yan has become murderous, I'm afraid he won't be able to take things as slowly as he did earlier."
"I didn't want to delay any further." Yu Yan said.
Not to mention that the King of Yan had already taken a killing interest in Mu Yungui, let's just say that he himself ......
Yu Yan's hand hidden in his sleeve gently cupped his abdomen.
There was a reason why he had to speed up the plan.
Yu Yan set his mind and said, "Father has killed Yun Gui, one failure will lead to a second, I can't wait any longer."
Ye Shu and Jinwang looked at each other and said, "In short, no matter what you want to do, Jinwang and I will help you."
"Thank you, but it won't be necessary this time." Yu Yan said, "You guys have already helped me enough, the rest is my grudge against the Great Yan royal family, which I will deal with myself."
Ye Shu nodded, and the little cub in his arms suddenly moved.
This little cub had grown and opened up quite a bit more than when Yu Yan first saw him, he rubbed his eyes and opened them, looking left and right curiously.
Yu Yan forgot for a moment what else he had to say, being so cute that he was softened, and leaned forward: "Little Yezi, do you remember me?"
The little cub looked at him in confusion and tilted his head, "Dad ...... dad ......"
Yuyen: "......"
Ye Shu: "......"
"It's not daddy, it's uncle." Ye Shu poked the little cub's face, "After learning the phrase daddy for so long, whoever recognizes daddy."
The little pup had no idea what he was talking about and stretched out his hand towards Yu Yan, the more he shouted, "Daddy! Daddy!"
Ye Shu thought about it and said squarely, "If you like to call him father so much, you'll marry his son or daughter as your wife in the future, and then you'll be able to call him father in name only."
Yu Yan: "?"
Yu Yan said, "It's not certain who will marry whom, it might be your little Ye Zi who marries into the Yan Kingdom."
Ye Shu thought about it and shook his head, "No, I can't leave it behind, my son must be Qianjun."
"But I can't let go either, so what should I do ......"
The two sat on the marching bed and discussed it seriously, the two Qianjuns stood there looking at each other.
Jinwang ground his teeth, "Isn't it a little too early for you guys to be thinking about this?!"
It was getting late, so Jinwang and Ye Shu, inconvenienced to stay too long, said goodbye to Yu Yan and left.
The two left the barracks and got into the carriage.
The little pup had just had enough sleep and was now sitting on Jinwang's lap grasping the spike of jade pendant at his waist to play.
Ye Shu leaned on his shoulder and whispered, "I didn't think you were willing to trust Yu Yan so much."
"If you trust him, I'll trust him." Jinwang paused and added, "Moreover, it's better to be able to reach a diplomatic agreement between the two countries without bloodshed than to send troops to overrun the border and cause the people's homes to be destroyed."
"That's right."
Ye Shu played with his pup's fingers, but Jinwang clasped his hand into his palm.
"Did someone promise earlier that if I brought you to see Yu Yan, you'd be at my mercy?" Jinwang spoke softly.
Ye Shu's ears perked up and moved to the side without moving a muscle.
Jinwang followed and leaned over, whispering, "Talking, is that so?"
Ye Shu was cornered by him and was bitten on the earlobe before he pursed his lips and nodded.
Inside the vice general's tent, Shepherd Yun returned to help Yu Yan pour a cup of tea.
Yu Yan took the cup over and asked, "What are you thinking about when you haven't spoken since the square?"
Shepherd Yun Gui said, "Subordinate ...... subordinates just feel a little strange."
"Strange where?"
Mu Yungui hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "The King of Changlu and the Prime Minister came from Kyoto, which is clearly in two directions from Jiangdu City, so why did they intercept His Majesty's secret edict on the way?"
"So you were thinking about that." Yu Yan laughed and said, "That's because of Ye Shu."
"That guy knows a lot of things that we don't, which is why I trusted him so much over the years and decided to work with him. I'll tell you the details of the reason some other time, but as for now ......"
Yu Yan hooked his finger at him.
Mu Yungui bent down and was pulled closer by Yu Yan.
Yu Yan was a little embarrassed, his eyes flickered slightly, and whispered, "The unfinished business of the party, is it time to continue?"
The shepherd returned to his heart and lowered his head to drop a kiss on Yu Yan's forehead.
...... Is that it?
Yu Yan frowned in dissatisfaction, and was about to speak, but his lips were contained by the other party.
When she kissed him, she was exceptionally gentle, first gently licking the surface before slowly probing, from shallow to deep, easily seducing the person.
Faint Kunjun letter fragrance spilled out.
She was so excited about the kiss that her fingers picked apart Yu Yan's belt.
The latter, however, seemed to suddenly sober up and grabbed Mu Yungui's wrist with force: "No."
"Master?"
Yu Yan's eyes were watery, but he still stubbornly shook his head, "Not today."
"But ...... "Makoto lifted his free hand and rubbed his fingertips over the ends of Yu Yan's eyes.
It was obvious that he wanted it badly.
The two stared at each other silently for a moment, and Makuyun gave in accommodatingly, "Okay, listen to the master."
He lay back down with his arms around the man and raised his hand to sweep out the candlelight in the tent.
Yu Yan stayed in the barracks for seven or eight days.
He said that night that he didn't want to delay any longer. But so many days had passed, and Yu Yan hadn't done anything more than send and receive a few secret letters to learn about Jiangdu's movements.
The border happened to be peaceful these days, and Yu Yan relied on the fact that no one dared to blast His Highness the second prince outside, pulling Mu Yungui out daily.
The name is patrolling, but actually touring.
In the blink of an eye, seven or eight days passed, this evening, Mu Yungui and Yu Yan spurred their horses back to the military camp.
When they went out, it was one person and one horse, and after leaving the sight range of the camp, it became two people riding together on Mu Yungui's mount, Little Black, with Mu Yungui leading the other red and brown horse.
To the woods a few miles away from the garrison, Muo Yungui let the black stop.
"Master, it's time to change horses."
Yu Yan was leaning against the bosom of Mu Yun Hui in a drowsy sleep and opened his eyes in a daze at the words, "Well ...... are we there yet?"
Shepherd Yun Gui: "Yes."
Yu Yan rubbed his eyes, off to the side and buried his head into Mu Yungui's bosom: "Sleepy, I want to sleep some more."
Yu Yan has always been in poor spirits these days, sleeping all day, saying that he was out to play, but most of the time he was nestled in Mu Yungui's arms sleeping.
Mu Yungui was not in a hurry and whispered in Yu Yan's ear, "But if you don't go back, the master won't be able to make it to dinner."
Hearing those two words, Yu Yan seemed to have regained some sense.
He gazed up dumbly, locked eyes with Mu Yungui for a moment, leaned in for a kiss on the other's lips, and vaguely said, "Can't catch you tonight you'll do it for me."
Mu Yungui's mouth hooked up a wisp of a smile, deliberately persuaded: "But the master said he didn't want to always have a small kitchen in the barracks."
Yu Yan was so sleepy and unconscious that he raised his head and kissed him several more times, "Let me sleep a little longer, good boy, for the last time."
Vice Admiral Shepherd was satisfied by his kiss and stopped making noise.
But Yu Yan in the end did not sleep well, not long after, a hawk whistle came from the sky.
Shepherd Yun Gui looked up, and a hawk hovered above the two of them. Shepherd Yun Gui raised his arm, and the eagle swooped down, landing steadily on his small arm.
In its beak, the hawk was holding a bamboo tube.
Shepherd Yun Gui touched the Cang Ying's head, took off the bamboo tube, and the Cang Ying soared back into the clouds.
It was a missive from Jiangdu.
Shepherd Yungui opened the letter and just took a glance at it, and then he froze.
"...... What's wrong?" Yu Yan's voice came out half-dreaming.
Mu Yun returned to read the contents of the letter again and slowly said, "Under the United Palace of the Prime Minister, it is reversed."
Yu Yan did not express surprise.
He laughed lightly and stretched his waist to sit up straight: "I thought they could hold out for a few days, but I didn't expect it to happen so soon ......"
Shepherd Cloud returned: "Did the master anticipate this?"
"Right." Yu Yan carefully folded the secret letter back into his arms and explained, "I told you that before I left, Father had asked me to stay in Kyoto to bring down the Prime Minister, and it wasn't all a delaying tactic."
"Over the years of Father's serious illness, the Sagittarius has gradually expanded his power and even held the government, and Father has long been jealous of him. Unfortunately, Father has been ill for a long time, and Great Yan is facing internal and external troubles, he cannot and does not dare to easily tear his face off with the Sagittarius."
"During these six months, I disintegrated the power of the Sagittarius, and you pacified the situation on the border, which is considered a great favor to Father Emperor."
"He no longer has worries about the aftermath, so he started to want to get rid of the Sagittarius."
"But Father understands this, and Sagittarius understands it even more."
"What we've been doing for the past six months has undoubtedly been pushing Sagittarius on the path to rebellion."
"Then why at this time?" Shepherd Yun returned a pause and responded, "Because His Majesty has decided to make a reserve?"
"Good." Yu Yan said, "After Sagittarius failed to recruit me, he made an alliance with the Great Imperial Brother. Father used to be quite appreciative of the eldest brother, so there was no need for Saguni to be anxious. But once he learns that Father Emperor plans to make me the Crown Prince ......"
Shepherd Cloud returned and asked, "Did the master leak this out? Why would they believe it?"
"That depends on who leaked it." Yu Yan laughed, "There's still a Yu Hong in Jiangdu City, pretending to be a tiger, but that kid's strong suit."
Hearing Yu Yan mention this name, Mu Yungui was subtly unhappy, but he didn't show it.
Yu Yan restrained his smile and said, "Actually, even without Yu Hong, things wouldn't have changed at all. Behind the eldest imperial brother there is the Prime Minister, behind the fifth oldest brother there is the Empress Qin's lineage, this throne can't be given to anyone but me, Father."
"The border has set off a war and most of the generals have been sent here, leaving only the Praetorian Guard by my father's side. Coupled with the fact that I, the future prince, is not in Jiangdu, it's the best time for them."
"All I need to do is have people stir up the fire in Jiangdu and force them to jump over the wall."
Mu Yungui asked again, "Then what should we do now?"
"Return to the camp and move help."
Yu Yan's messages had always come faster than ordinary letters, and the camp was still unaware of what was happening in Jiangdu.
It wasn't yet time for dinner, and the generals were still practicing everywhere in the camp.
Yu Yan took Mu Yunhui and went straight to the commander-in-chief's tent.
Only the commander-in-chief General Ji and his personal guards were present in the tent, seeing Yu Yan's arrival, he asked: "I wonder what the second palace came here for?".
Yu Yan nonchalantly said, "Please also ask the General to hold back his left and right."
General Ji's brows furrowed slightly, looked at the personal guard beside him and said, "This person is my trusted advisor and worthy of trust, Second Highness may as well speak directly if he has something to say."
"Good." Yu Yan was downright happy, and threw the secret letter in his hand onto General Ji's table, "The Xiangguo united with the Grand Prince to force the palace, I want to ask General Ji to send troops to come with me back to Jiangdu to save my lord."
As soon as he said that, the two men in the tent froze in unison.
General Ji only came back to his senses halfway through the day and picked up the secret letter.
"This ...... this ......" General Ji's face changed dramatically, surprised, "How is this possible?"
Yu Yan said, "This is a message from Jiangdu, if the general doesn't believe it, he can send his own troops back to find out. But it will take two days to get here and back, and I'm afraid Father is in danger."
General Ji fell silent.
Yu Yan didn't push and waited quietly.
This man was a great general of the country, who had served Yan for many years and had made great achievements. He had military power in his hands and had always only obeyed the King of Yan's orders, so he was actually very difficult to deal with.
Yu Yan sent Mu Yun Hui to the military camp to take advantage of the opportunity to overshadow this person, so that he could seize military power in the future.
But now he's changed his mind.
Screw the gradual progression, he wants the throne now.
When General Ji didn't answer for a long time, Yu Yan said again, "His Highness is eager to save his driver, if General Ji still has doubts, why don't you lend me an elite army, and Yun Gui and I will rush back to Jiangdu."
His suggestion was quite reasonable.
But General Ji still didn't hurry to answer.
He gazed at the handsome young man in front of him and slowly said, "I would like to ask Your Highness a question."
"Please speak, General."
"What will you do if Your Highness cannot borrow soldiers from me?"
Yu Yan: "Go alone."
General Ji: "Jiangdu is bound to be in deep water now, is Your Highness not afraid of setting yourself on fire by going here?"
Yu Yan replied in a soft voice, "Even if it's jade and stone, we can't let that wolf ambitious person take the throne."
"I have one more question." General Ji said, "Since Jiangdu is in deep water, how can Your Highness get a message from Jiangdu?"
"It's not surprising that there are a few eyes in Edo keeping an eye on the movement, right?"
Yu Yan stepped forward and casually leaned against the table in front of him: "I know what the general is worried about, one, you are worried that forcing the palace is false, and tricking your elite into forcing Jiangdu is true. Secondly, you're worried that forcing the palace is real, though -->> but I'm the mastermind behind it."
"General is overly worried." Yu Yan laughed lightly, "If forcing the palace is false, it is still unknown whether this elite that the general has given me will obey my discipline, how can I lead the troops to intimidate Jiangdu? If forcing the palace is true, Father is now in danger, and whoever is by his side has a greater chance of gaining the position of the Reserve Monarch."
"...... Why would I let go of the position of the Reserve Monarch to trick the General into an elite army?"
General Ji: "So, Your Highness has no interest in the position of the Crown Prince?"
"Of course not." Yu Yan said, "The General has asked so many questions and this is the only one that hits the spot."
Yu Yan said leisurely, "I'm interested in the position of the Crown Prince, so I must return to Jiangdu."
General Ji was startled, seemingly not expecting Yu Yan to be so frank.
"It's urgent, so I won't beat around the bush with the General." Yu Yan said, "There are only two paths in front of you: one, help me return to Jiangdu to save my lord, the throne is mine. Second, ignore it and allow my eldest brother to invade the Imperial City, and my father will be forced to surrender the throne to someone else."
"It's up to the General to decide what to choose."
The tent was silent for a while, and a long while later, General Ji said leisurely, "Then do as Your Highness says."
The trusted advisor: "Yes."
The close advisor received the military order and left the tent to do it.
Yu Yan and Mu Yungui were about to leave when General Ji suddenly said, "Ji's move is not for Your Highness, but for His Majesty's safety. I hope that Your Highness will remember today's promise, and no matter what, do not harm Your Majesty."
Yu Yan's footsteps paced and softly responded, "This is natural."
Jiangdu, King Yan's Bedchamber.
There were many guards on the outskirts of the bedchamber, with the Empress guarding the bedchamber and the Imperial Doctor kneeling all over the floor.
The King of Yan lay on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was asleep.
Someone's voice was faintly heard outside the door, "Still haven't found it? Find it again! Dig up the entire Ganquan Palace and find the imperial seal even if you have to!"
Inside the palace, Yu Shu knelt in front of his couch and whispered, "Father, if you hand over the transmissive jade seal, I will have the Prime Minister withdraw his troops."
The King of Yan was indifferent and didn't even move his eyeballs.
Yu Shu sighed silently and was about to persuade him further when a young boy's voice suddenly came from outside the door, "Imperial brother! Second Royal Brother and the others have struck into the city, bringing many soldiers with them!"
Yu Hong stumbled in, his face pale, "Imperial brother, what should we do?"
Yu Shu cursed under his breath, kowtowed to the King of Yan and got up, "Old Fifth, you stay here, I'll personally go meet him for a while."
"But the second royal brother he ......"
"Be obedient and stay here." Yu Shu said, turning his head towards the King of Yan, "I have no intention whatsoever of my brothers killing each other, and if my father is willing to hand over the imperial seal, I will retreat from the army."
The King of Yan still ignored it.
Yu Shu's eyes were cold, and with a cold snort, he turned around and left the Ganquan Palace.
Only after Yu Shu had walked away did the fear on Yu Hong's face recede.
He turned around and bowed down towards Empress Yan Wang: "Father, Mother, my son's people have already made the arrangements, please father and mother leave Ganquan Palace with my son for a while."
The King of Yan finally opened his eyes, "How are you going to ......"
Before he finished speaking, the sound of fighting suddenly came from outside the door.
The Empress' pale face was overflowing with hope, and she was busy saying, "Your Majesty, the palace is not safe anywhere today, so you should flee with your concubine."
The King of Yan was silent for a moment and nodded, "...... is fine."
The fighting stopped outside the door, and Yu Hong and the Empress left Ganquan Palace with the King of Yan on their left and right.
There were guards at the palace gates, and the three of them only had a handful of guards with them, so they couldn't go to the front gate, so they had to go all the way to the harem.
Until they came to a place where the concubine was sleeping.
As he approached, the King of Yan suddenly stopped, "Wait, this is ......"
The Empress was already terrified, unaware of the King of Yan's abnormality, and said, "Your Majesty, the adversaries will come after us at any moment, so what's the delay now?"
She said pushing open the door to her bedchamber, but saw a slender figure sitting in the courtyard.
This courtyard has been very different from the past, the pear tree in front of the courtyard is blooming just right, white petals are falling down.
Hearing the noise, the man in the courtyard turned his head and beckoned to them, "Father, Mother, my son has been waiting for you for a long time."
The Empress suddenly realized something, instinctively feeling bad, and was about to turn around and leave, but was stopped by the guards behind her.
Yu Hong said in a soft voice, "It's better for Mother to go in."
His voice trailed off and immediately a guard racked the Empress and pushed her into the courtyard.
"Let go! Yu Hong you're crazy, I'm your mother!" The Queen was pushed to the ground, the beaded hairpin on her head scattered.
But no one helped her.
The former graceful and noble Empress fell among a fallen flower, described as emaciated and wretched.
The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years, and is now in the process of developing the new product for the next two years. I would also like to ask Father to come into the palace to rest, my son has some personal matters to attend to now."
The King of Yan was about to stop speaking, looked at the Empress who was lying on the ground and shook his head, "Fine."
He was led by the guards into the bedchamber.
Only then did Yu Yan set his eyes on the Empress.
"Mother, do you remember now, what is this place?" Yu Yan spoke softly.
The queen's body trembled violently and didn't answer.
"Eighteen years." Yu Yan gazed at her wretched appearance as a hint of pleasure surfaced in his heart, "Eighteen years ago, you were here, forcing my birth mother to throw herself into the well. What did you say to her then?"
-- "If you won't jump, throw the little beast in first."
--- "It's your choice whether to keep him alive or you."
Yu Yan walked up to the Empress and squatted down, "I'm really curious as to why the real killer was able to have no shame and even forgot about this incident. After all these years, why am I the only one still trapped in that night?"
"No, it wasn't me ......" the Empress shook her head in a panic, after catching a glimpse of Yu Hong standing beside her, she even crawled over, "Hong'er, I'm your mother, I've treated you a bit badly over the years, but I'll change in the future, I'll change The!"
Her voice was sharp, "I've raised you for so many years, do you really want to stand by and watch him kill me?!"
Yu Hong's throat was dry, and he looked away: "If I had known earlier, why would I have done so."
The Empress said, "No, you don't dare to kill me, the Qin Clan will not let you go, you don't dare-"
"Mother, don't worry. Qin's lineage will also not be spared, but that's no longer relevant to you." Yu Yan inclined his head, "Mother Empress jump on her own, it's a decent way to save face."
The crazy expression on the Empress's face disappeared, she was startled and looked at Yu Yan as if she didn't understand the meaning of his words.
Yu Yan didn't pay any more attention, patted Yu Hong's shoulder and said, "I'll go in to see Father, here ...... is left to you."
Yu Hong: "Good."
The bedchamber was disheveled and in a state of depression.
Since the forcing of the palace, the people in the palace had scattered and fled, and everything of value had been taken away.
Yu Yan closed the door, and King Yan sat in the empty room, his eyes surveying the chambers.
"This place really isn't quite the same as it used to be." The King of Yan sighed leisurely, "It's almost unrecognizable."
Yu Yan dropped his eyes and did not reply.
King Yan said, "Your mother's consort died at the hands of the empress, why didn't you ever say anything?"
Yu Yan smiled bitterly, "Does it help to say it?"
The Queen was in the limelight at the time, and the King of Yan did not care about Yu Yan, so it was like hitting a stone with an egg.
Yu Yan didn't want to reminisce with him about the past and whispered, "It's done, Father knows what I want."
"Under the third brick behind the Ganquan Palace dragon couch, the jade seal and the edict are there. Don't worry, it's your name, it always has been." The King of Yan looked at him deeply, "You will be a wise ruler, at least better than me."
Just then, there was a pounding sound from the courtyard.
Like the sound of a heavy object falling into the water.
A door away, Yu Yan slumped to his knees and bowed solemnly to the King of Yan, "Thank you, Father."
The Sangkuni united with the Great Prince to force the palace and nearly entered the imperial city, but fortunately, the second prince Yu Yan arrived in time and united with the Praetorian Guard to resist to the death. And then, the Protector General also led his troops back to Jiangdu, and quickly suppressed the treason.
The first prince was captured alive, and the second prince was killed by Mu Vice Admiral in the chaos.
The King of Yan fell seriously ill again and was unable to continue his government.
The rebellion was quelled, and Yu Yan, the second prince, succeeded to the throne three months later.
The new emperor does not show up for the ceremony, which is in full swing.
From outside the door came the old eunuch's sharp urging, "Your Majesty, the auspicious time is coming, aren't you ready yet?!"
"No, wait for me!"
Yu Yan growled at the door and lowered his head to continue arranging the coronet belt.
He was about to bend down to fetch the celestial ring pendant when suddenly a hand reached out from behind him and handed it over for him.
Mu Yunji stood behind him with a smile on his eyebrows, "Eunuch Chang is so anxious that he almost jumped headfirst into the lotus pond outside the Manna Palace, forcing his subordinate to see why his master isn't well yet."
Yu Yan narrowed his eyes, "What did the Great General call me?"
Makuyun returns: "Your Majesty."
Yu Yan laughed and unfolded his arms, "Put it on for me."
Mu Yungui bowed his head and helped him tie the ring pendant.
After tying it, he also looked up and down at Yu Yan thoughtfully.
Yu Yan asked, "What's wrong?"
Shepherding his palm back to his waist in an imaginary grip, he said uncertainly, "Has His Majesty ...... put on a little weight lately?"
Yu Yan's face changed instantly.
It wasn't all the fault of Yan's cumbersome emperor succession process.
It was obvious that the edict was received three months ago, and as a result, dealing with the prime minister's henchmen, dealing with that group of pedantic old things in the court, and going through the succession process, a series of matters were dealt with, and it was actually dragged out for almost three months before the enthronement ceremony.
This is still the result of Yu Yan's urging.
Any further delay and he wouldn't be able to wear his coronet!
Yu Yan originally wanted to ask Mu Yungui for his hand in marriage and tell him the truth after the enthronement ceremony, but the enthronement ceremony has been delayed again and again, and with all these days' affairs, he still hasn't had the chance to tell the truth.
As the ceremony is about to begin, Yu Yan couldn't care less about the explanation, and pulled Mu Yungui out of the bedchamber.
The ceremony of enthronement is complicated, Yu Yan first went to pay homage to his ancestors, and then listened to the proclamation of the edict for half an hour, and finally had to go to the Fengtian Hall to receive the hundred officials kneeling, it took almost two hours.
The first thing that you need to do is to take a look at the newest addition to your own website.
Yu Yan these days busy feet, and did not have time to take breakfast, early hungry to the abdomen sore, dizzy.
He endured the discomfort in the abdomen from the dragon chair to stand up, body shape slightly shaken, almost head heavy to fall down.
The people around him hurriedly came to help him.
The hundreds of officials who had yet to leave were all confused for a moment.
Yu Yan's face was pale and his ears were ringing, consciousness only barely holding on until he saw Mu Yungui walking quickly towards him.
He fell into a familiar embrace, before losing consciousness, and even heard Mu Yungui command loudly: "Xuan Imperial Doctor!"
...... has suffered.
In case you're wondering, I'll explain that Yu Yan was starving and fainted.
It's not over! It's not over! The word count is wrong, if I finish it all I might not be able to update it tonight, so I'm splitting it into two chapters, and tomorrow is the end of the chapter ORZ
